Steve Sullivan Game Quotations

I'm hoping to get in another game before the playoffs start, but every day it seems to be getting better so hopefully I'm ready then. It's just not getting better as quick as I thought it would. I skated in St. Louis on Tuesday, but I haven't been back on the ice since then.

I think there's some concern there. We're not being as aware and as attentive to detail as we probably should be. It seems like we're giving up at least one every game and we're going to have to change that.

I think it's the most exciting the NHL has been in a long time. I think the fans are very happy with the way the game is going. There's a lot of scoring chances. ... We're very happy with the way things have been going so far.

We've got one game still to go, and it will be the difference between a good trip and a great trip. But we knew March was going to be tough with a couple of these long road trips. It's good to get one under our belt with some success.

We played a little too much out on the perimeter. We've been lucky enough to be scoring five to six goals per game in the last few games, so we might have gotten in some bad habits. We have to get back to working toward the goal and creating better chances.

In Game Two it was a little too easy for their defense back there. They were able to make that first pass and set up plays too easily.

But he's a great kid and loves the game and he'll have success. He might not be the Calder Trophy winner but in the long run, he'll be the real deal.

It kind of swings momentum our way. They score that goal, they've got all the momentum, they're coming after us. Tomas makes the big save, we go down, we make it 4-1, 5-1, then the game is out of reach.

You can't just sit back and hold on to leads now. With the way the rules are now, you have to keep going after it. The rules don't let you clutch and grab, so it's more a game of offense.
